Synopsis
Jang Bo-go (Choi Soo Jong) was a peasant from Shilla (a Korean dynasty that lasted from 57 B.C. until 935 A.D.) He goes to Tang (a Chinese dynasty) to train his martial arts skills. There, he sees his people being kidnapped and killed by Tang pirates. He comes back to Shilla and asks the king permission to clean out the Tang pirates. Jang Bo-go seizes control of the seas and returns peace to his people again. Pirates fled at the name of Jang Bo-go, giving him the name ‘Hae Shin’, meaning ‘Sea God’. During this time, Shilla’s royal house was in tumult because kings were being kicked out after only a few years of ruling. One royal family member comes to Jang Bo-go for aid to kick out the current king. He takes the offer and kicks out the king and enthrones the royal family member. In return, he was promised that his daughter would be married to the new king’s son. However, the king dies after several months and the prince tries to keep his promise to Jang Bo-go. But, due to opposition by the royal officials that the daughter of a peasant cannot be queen, the promise was broken. Furious, Jang Bo-go starts a rebellion, but is killed by an assassin sent out by the king. He and his family name were condemned forever.
